Copy the appropriate locale metadata package to the subfolder. For example, copy an EN-US metadata package to the EN-US subfolder, and copy an EN metadata package to the EN subfolder.Multiple-locale device metadata packages should also be copied to the locale folder. The locale is defined in packageinfo.xml, which is used only when the device metadata package is loaded to a Windows 7 computer. For example, the package should be copied to the EN-US folder if the locale in packageinfo.xml is EN-US. Install Metadata Packages on a Running Instance of WindowsYou can install device metadata packages on a running instance of Windows in three different ways:Install metadata packages from the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS) server.Install metadata packages by using an application.Install metadata packages by using an INF file in a driver package (which we do not recommend).All three ways use the same background processes and copy the metadata packages to the local metadata store.Install Metadata Package from the WMIS ServerWhen Windows detects a new device, it queries the WMIS online server for a metadata package for the device. If a device metadata package is available, the Device Metadata Retrieval Client (DMRC) that runs on the local computer downloads the package from the WMIS server and installs the package on the local computer.You can submit your metadata in the Dashboard of the Hardware Development and Desktop App Development areas of the Windows Dev Center. See to understand the Logo requirements and whether they apply to your submission. After the Dashboard validates your metadata package, it will be available to WMIS for download requests that DMRC makes on any computer that runs Windows 7.To support the device metadata package installation scenario with the hardware-first driver installation scenario, we recommend that you use this method to provide metadata packages.Note: If a user accesses a computer by using a guest account, the DMRC cannot retrieve device metadata packages from the WMIS server for that user. Install Metadata Packages by Using an ApplicationTo install metadata packages, your application or installation application should follow these steps:1.Get the local metadata store path by calling SHGetKnownFolderPath. The knownfolderID for the local metadata store is {5CE4A5E9E4EB479DB89F130C02886155}.2.Copy the metadata package to the local metadata store by calling CopyFile.Remarks:You must have administrator privileges when you copy metadata packages.You must copy metadata packages to the correct locale subfolder. For example, copy a metadata package for ”EN-US” to %PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataStore\EN-US.If the local metadata store does not have a subdirectory for the locale, the application must create it. If you use the CopyFile function, it creates the folder if there is no subdirectory for the locale.Install Metadata Packages by Using an INF File in a Driver PackageNote: Because we do not provide support for the INF file method for installing metadata packages, we strongly recommend that you install from the WMIS server. However, if you choose to use an INF file, read this section thoroughly and make sure that you understand the risk.To install metadata packages from a driver package, your INF file copies the metadata packages. For more information about INF files, see “INF Files” in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). Note: If your driver package is used to install devices on Windows versions earlier than Windows 7, you must use a separate INF DDInstall section that contains your metadata-related INF directives. You must specify this section name in the INF Models section by using a TargetOSversion decoration that specifies an OSMajorVersion and OSMinorVersion value for Windows 7. If you do not use a separate DDInstall section for Windows 7, your driver package installation shows a signature alert because the COPYFLG_NODECOMP does not work on Windows versions earlier than Windows 7. For more information about creating decorated INF sections, see “Creating INF Files for Multiple Platforms and Operating Systems” in the WDK.The following example shows how the DestinationDirs and DDInstall sections specify the paths for the metadata package operations:[SourceDisksNames]1 = %Media_Description%,,,\MetadataPackage ;[SourceDisksFiles.NTx86]GUID1.devicemetadata-ms= 1,, ;A metadata package file for EN-USGUID2.devicemetadata-ms= 1,, ;A metadata package file for AR-SAGUID3.devicemetadata-ms= 1,, ;A metadata package file for JA-JP[DestinationDirs]COPYMETADATA_EN-US = 24, \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataStore\EN-US ;COPYMETADATA_AR-SA = 24, \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataStore\AR-SA ;COPYMETADATA_JA-JP = 24, \ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataStore\JA-JP ;. . .[DeviceInstall.NTx86]CopyFiles=COPYMETADATA_EN-USCopyFiles=COPYMETADATA_AR-SACopyFiles=COPYMETADATA_JA-JP[COPYMETADATA_EN-US]GUID1.devicemetadata-ms,,,0x00000800 ;COPYFLG_NODECOMP[COPYMETADATA_AR-SA]GUID2.devicemetadata-ms,,,0x00000800 ;COPYFLG_NODECOMP[COPYMETADATA_JA-JP]GUID3.devicemetadata-ms,,,0x00000800 ;COPYFLG_NODECOMPRemarks:You must copy all metadata packages in the driver package to the correct folder in the Local Device Metadata Store to support dynamic locale change.The metadata packages must not be copied by a co-installer or a class installer.You must specify the COPYFLG_NODECOMP flag in the CopyFIles directive. This flag ensures that the binary integrity of the device metadata package is retained, and it avoids a decompression of the device metadata package when the driver package is installed.You must sign the metadata package if it is included in a driver package that will be signed.Any failure of the metadata package installation causes the driver installation to fail.Apply the device metadata package to your system for testingThe device metadata package is installed automatically when you install a device in the user’s system. However, you need to press the F5 key in Devices and Printers when you copy the device metadata package after you install the device metadata package to the local metadata store for testing purposes. In that case, follow these steps:Go to the Start menu.Type Devices and Printers.Click Settings in the Search pane.Click Devices and Printers.Press the F5 key.Note: If you use the device metadata authoring tool or the WDK driver deployment tool, you don’t have to press the F5 key, as those tools refresh the device metadata database automatically.Signature of the device metadata package and test modeTo apply for the Windows Store device app, specialized device app, Device Stage, and Autoplay for devices, your device metadata package requires a signature (users will get the device metadata package from WMIS), or your system needs to be in test mode (for your testing). When you are going to test your device metadata package before submitting it to Microsoft, you need to put your system into test mode. To put your PC into test mode, follow these steps:Open a command prompt with elevated access.Run bcdedit -set testsigning on.Reboot the system.You will see Test Mode in desktop when your PC is in test mode. How the DMRC Selects a Device Metadata PackageWhen a user opens the Devices and Printers or the Device Stage? user interface, the operating system launches the DMRC to search its cache for the most appropriate and current metadata package for a device. The DMRC also searches for a newer metadata package for the device on the WMIS server. If the DMRC finds a package, it downloads the package and installs it on the computer.If the DMRC recently queried the WMIS server for a metadata package for a device, it uses a cached metadata package for the device instead of searching for a newer package. For more information, refer to “How the DMRC Determines Whether to Search the WMIS Server” later in this paper.The DMRC uses the following metadata XML elements that are specified in the metadata packages to select the appropriate package for a device. The order of these XML elements reflects the priority that the DMRC uses to select a metadata package: ModelID and ModelIDListHardwareID and HardwareIDListLocaleLastModifiedDateWhen the DMRC selects a metadata package for a device, it follows these steps:If the device has a model ID, the DMRC searches device metadata packages for a match between one ModelID entry in the package’s ModelIDList XML element and the device’s model ID value.If the device does not have a model ID, the DMRC searches device metadata packages for a match between the HardwareID entries in the package’s HardwareIDList XML element and the device’s hardware IDs.The DMRC creates a list of device metadata packages that meet the search criteria that are described in steps 1 and 2. From this list, the DMRC then searches the list entries for a match between the package’s Locale XML element and the list of preferred user locales on the computer.If no entries in the list match this search criterion, the DMRC searches the list entries for a device metadata package that contains a Locale XML element that has the default attribute set to true. If the DMRC finds a match, it selects that metadata package.In Windows 8, if the multiple locale flag is set to true, then that device metadata package is treated as the highest ranking for matching to locale. If the DMRC finds more than one device metadata package during step 3, it selects the package that has a LastModifiedDate XML element with the most recent timestamp.For more information about the device metadata XML schema and elements, refer to “How to Create a Device Metadata Package for Devices and Printers” on the Windows Dev Center-Hardware site. Figure 1 shows how the DMRC selects device metadata packages.Figure 1. How DMRC selects a metadata packageRemarks:If the DMRC selects a metadata package that is based on hardware IDs, it uses the same ranking of hardware IDs that the operating system uses during driver installation. The DMRC ranks a more-specific hardware ID higher than a less-specific hardware ID. For example, the following hardware IDs are listed in ranking order:<HardwareID>DOID:USB\VID_XXXX&PID_YYYY&REV_0000</HardwareID><HardwareID>DOID:USB\VID_XXXX&PID_YYYY</HardwareID>For information about the hardware IDs in a device container, refer to “How to Create a Device Metadata Package for Devices and Printers” on the Windows Dev Center-Hardware site.Only one metadata package for a device should set the default attribute of the Locale XML element to true. You should set this attribute to true in the package that contains a hardware ID with the highest ranking value.The LastModifiedDate XML element is used for versioning and selecting a newer version of a device metadata package for a device. If two or more device metadata packages in the local metadata store contain the same values for the ModelIDList, HardwareIDList, Locale, or LastModifiedDate XML elements, the DMRC selects only one of them for the device. Note that the DMRC selects one of these packages in a nondeterministic manner. How the DMRC Determines Whether to Search the WMIS ServerTo reduce network traffic on a user’s local network, the DMRC maintains a cache of device metadata packages. When a user opens Devices and Printers, when Autoplay launches Device Stage, or when a periodic maintenance task is initiated in Windows 8, the DMRC follows these steps to determine if it is time to search the WMIS server for a newer metadata package:If the target device’s device ID is not listed in the DMRC index table, the DMRC is searching for a metadata package for the device for the first time. Therefore, the DMRC queries the WMIS server.If the target device’s device ID is listed in the DMRC index table, the DMRC calculates whether it is time to requery the WMIS server: If the DMRC has previously retrieved a device metadata package for the device, the DMRC compares the value of the CheckBackMDRetrieved registry key to the value of today minus LastCheckedDate. If the CheckBackMDRetrieved value is smaller, the DMRC queries the WMIS server. If the DMRC has not previously retrieved a device metadata package for the device, the DMRC compares the value of the CheckBackMDNotRetrieved registry key to the value of today minus LastCheckedDate. If the CheckBackMDNotRetrieved value is smaller, the DMRC queries the WMIS server.Figure 2 summarizes the algorithms that the DMRC uses to determine when to query the WMIS server for updated metadata packages.Figure 2. How the DMRC determines whether to query the WMIS server for a device metadata packageThe following list describes the values that are used in the algorithms in Figure?2:LastCheckedDateThis value indicates the most recent date when the DMRC queried the WMIS server for metadata for a device. This date does not reflect whether the DMRC successfully retrieved a metadata package; it only indicates the last time that the DMRC queried the WMIS server on behalf of the device. CheckBackMDNotRetrieved This registry value indicates the number of days that the DMRC waits before it rechecks the WMIS server for metadata for a device. This value applies to devices for which the DMRC has not yet retrieved metadata from WMIS.PathHKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DeviceMetadataKeyCheckBackMDNotRetrievedValue0 to 256: REG_DWORDDefault Value5CheckBackMDRetrievedThis registry value indicates the number of days that the DMRC waits before it checks for updated metadata for a device. This value applies to devices for which the DMRC previously received metadata.PathHKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DeviceMetadata KeyCheckBackMDRetrievedValue0 to 256: REG_DWORDDefault Value8Note: The WMIS controls the CheckBackMDRetrieved?and CheckBackMDNotRetrieved values. The WMIS team selects the values based on network conditions and load balancing. Every response from the WMIS server contains the client configuration data and controls the DMRC behavior. Best Practices for Testing Download of Device Metadata PackagesBecause of DMRC metadata caching, a delay can occur between the time when a device metadata package is available on the WMIS server and the time when that package is downloaded to a client system. To test the download of a device metadata package, you can force a download in two ways:Delete the device metadata cache folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Local\Microsoft\Device Metadata\). Deleting this folder resets the value of LastCheckedDate and causes the DMRC to query the WMIS server for all devices as a first-time query.In Windows?8, the device metadata cache is located on %PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataCacheSet the CheckBackMDRetrieved and CheckBackMDNotRetrieved registry keys to?0. When these values are zero, the DMRC immediately queries the WMIS server for a target device. Note that the WMIS overwrites these values each time that the DMRC receives a response from WMIS. Therefore, these parameters can change if the DMRC receives a response for any other device before it queries the WMIS server for your target device. Note: You must make the preceding changes only when you test metadata packages. You must not provide to end users any tools that make these changes, and you should not communicate these forcing mechanisms to end users. Device Metadata Package Installation DebugThe following sections provide information about debugging device metadata package installation.Check whether the device metadata package is installed or not.Check the icon of your target device in Devices and Printers. If the device has the device icon that you specified listed in Devices and Printers, the device metadata package was installed correctly at least for the DeviceInfo.xml part. Debug the device container properties by Using Ddodiag.exeIf you debug a device metadata package issue or any device properties issues, we recommend that you use Ddodiag.exe.Beginning with Windows?7, the Ddodiag.exe supports listing all values of the device properties in device containers.Run Ddodiag.exeFollow these steps to run Ddodiag.exe:Launch a command prompt.Type start /wait ddodiag.exe -o <Filename.xml> and press the Enter key.Type notepad.exe <Filename.xml>.?Note: ?The xml contains all properties of device containers in the system. If you are investigating a specific device problem, find the HardwareID or ModelID in the XML and see the properties of the device container. If you are investigating whether a given property value is set or not, try to find the value in the XML file. Example 1: When you know the target device hardware IDsOpen the filename.xml by using Notepad or any editor. Try to find the hardware ID (for example, USB\VID_045E&PID_0047).Find the kind of property below in the XML file: <Property key="PKEY_Device_HardwareIds" type="VT_VECTOR | VT_LPWSTR" vectorCount="7"> <Value>USB\VID_045E&PID_0047&REV_0300</Value> <Value>HID\VID_045E&PID_0047&REV_0300</Value> <Value>USB\VID_045E&PID_0047</Value> <Value>HID\VID_045E&PID_0047</Value> <Value>HID_DEVICE_SYSTEM_MOUSE</Value> <Value>HID_DEVICE_UP:0001_U:0002</Value> <Value>HID_DEVICE</Value> </Property>The property element should be a child element of a DDO element. (e.g. <DDO instanceId="DDO:{FF5614B9-6CB3-11E1-AAB0-806E6F6E6963}">).In the DDO element, see the information that you set in the device metadata package. If the values are set, the device metadata package installation was completed correctly.Below is an example of the property values (Icon name):<Property key="PKEY_DeviceDisplay_Icon" type="VT_LPWSTR"> <Value>%programdata%\microsoft\windows\devicemetadatacache\dmrccache\en-us\2ec2ef3b-83d2-4f5d-afa3-31aec5a379dd\DeviceInformation\IntelliMouseExplorer3.0.ico</Value> </Property>Example 2: When you know the values that should be set into a containerOpen the filename.xml by using notepad or any editor. Try to find the value (e.g. Microsoft.Samples.PrinterExtensionCS).If you don’t find any, the value is not set, so check the device metadata package information such as hardware ID, signature of the package, etc.Below is an example of the property values (package name of an app): <Property key="51236583-0c4a-4fe8-b81f-166aec13f510, 101" type="VT_VECTOR | VT_LPWSTR" vectorCount="1"> <Value>Microsoft.Samples.PrinterExtensionCS</Value> </Property>Debug by Using Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) in Windows 7If you debug a device metadata package problem, we recommend that you use Event Viewer.Beginning with Windows?7, the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) service supports the DeviceMetadata/Debug channel for events that are related to processing device metadata packages.View Device Metadata/Debug ETW Events in Event ViewerFollow these steps to view device metadata events in the Event Viewer:1.On the Start menu, right-click Computer, and then select Manage.2.Expand the System Tools node.3.Expand and select the Event Viewer node.On the View menu, click Show Analytic and Debug Logs.Expand the Applications and Services Logs node, expand the Microsoft node, expand the Windows node, and then expand the UserPnP node.Select the DeviceMetadata/Debug node.Note: To receive and view events, you must enable logging on the DeviceMetadata/Debug ETW channel. Right-click the DeviceMetadata/Debug node, select Properties, and check the box that is named EnableLogging.Device Metadata/Debug ETW EventsThe operating system logs the following error, warning, and informational events during the download or processing of a device metadata package.Event ID: 7900 Error: Device metadata package error.An error was detected with one of the components of a device metadata package.
